Staging a condo is a detailed and intricate process. You're going through the process of making your condo as nice as possible to get the highest price possible. When it comes to staging, there are many things most real estate agents to right. However, based on my years of experience in the Downtown Minneapolis market, I've found that most agents tend to leave out these three important factors.

Factor #1  Scent

Scent plays a big part in staging a condo. Remember that a condo purchase is an emotional decision. The sense of smell plays a big part in influencing one's emotions.

Having any odors, stale air, muskiness or strange smells will kill your chances of making the sale. It's absolutely critical that your condo smell at least neutral, if not good.

There are many ways to change the scent of your condo. You could burn incense an hour before showing the condo. You could install some air fresheners. You could even use essential oils that are used in aromatherapy to truly create a luxurious feel.

Factor #2  Lighting

Lighting is another very important factor that many agents overlook. The lighting in the condo literally colors everything else. A condo that appears bright will feel vibrant, happy and alive to the buyer. A condo that's dim will feel gloomy, dark and dead.

Natural lighting is the optimal source of lighting. If you can't get natural lighting to work or to be well lit enough, the get some artistic indoor lighting. Avoid hard lights and avoid fluorescent lights.

Factor #3  Furnishing

It's very common for agents to show an empty condo. While this does create a clean and open look, the reality is that most people don't have a very strong ability to imagine what a condo will look like with furnishing.

It's important to have good furnishing in the condo when you're staging it so that the buyer can really get a feel for what the condo will feel like when it's furnished. Pick just a few key pieces to help the buyer do that.
